“Limp Home” Mode and Related
Procedures
If the immobilizer warning indicator
blinks for five seconds when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position,
this indicates the immobilizer system
requires service. The engine cannot be
started without using the procedure
below.
The following procedure describes
how to start the engine using the limp
home function (0, 1, 2, 3 as a sample
password).
NOTICE
You can get a limp home password
when the vehicle is first delivered to
you. If you do not have a password,
consult your authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
1. To activate the password, turn the ignition key “ON” and “OFF“
according to the digit numbers. The
immobilizer indicator will blink along
with the operation of the ignition
key. For example, turn the ignition
key once for digit number “1”, and
twice for “2”, and so on. For the digit
number “0”, you must cycle the
ignition key 10 times.
2. Wait for 3~10 seconds.
3. You may set the remaining number of digits by following steps 1 and 2.
4. If all of the four password digits have
been successfully entered, turn the
ignition key “ON” and check that the
immobilizer indicator illuminates.
From this time, you have to start your
engine within 30 seconds. If you try
to start your engine after 30 seconds,
your engine will not start.
NOTICE
If the engine stalls while driving in the
“limp home” mode, you can start your
engine within 3 seconds without re-
entering the password.
If the immobilizer indicator blinks for
five seconds, you must re-enter the
password (steps 1~4).
After performing the limp home
activation procedure, consult with your
authorized HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
CAUTION
• If the password is entered incorrectly
three consecutive times, wait for
about one hour to perform the limp
home activation procedure again.
• If you cannot start your engine using
the limp home activation procedure,
have your vehicle towed by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

Automatic-Dimming Night Vision Safety™ (NVS®
) Mirror (if equipped)
The NVS® Mirror automatically reduces
glare by monitoring light levels in the
front and the rear of the vehicle. Any
object that obstructs either light sensor
will degrade the automatic dimming
control feature.
For more information regarding NVS®
mirrors and other applications, please
refer to the Gentex website:
www.gentex.com
Your mirror will automatically dim
upon detecting glare from the vehicles
traveling behind you.
The mirror defaults to the ON position
each time the vehicle is started. Integrated HomeLink ®
Wireless Control
System
The HomeLink® Wireless Control System
can replace up to three hand-held
radio-frequency (RF) transmitters with
a single built-in device. This innovative
feature will learn the radio frequency
codes of most current transmitters to
operate devices such as gate operators,
garage door openers, entry door locks,
security systems, even home lighting.
Both standard and rolling code-equipped
transmitters can be programmed by
following the outlined procedures.
Additional HomeLink® information can
be found at: www.homelink.com, www.
youtube.com/HomeLinkGentex or by
calling 1-800-355-3515.
Retain the original transmitter of the
RF device you are programming for use
in other vehicles as well as for future
HomeLink® programming. It is also
suggested that upon the sale of the
vehicle, the programmed HomeLink®
buttons be erased for security purposes.
WARNING
Before programming HomeLink® to a
garage door opener or gate operator,
make sure people and objects are out
of the way of the device to prevent
potential harm or damage. Do not
use the HomeLink® with any garage
door opener that lacks the safety
stop and reverse features required by
federal safety standards (this includes
any garage door opener model
manufactured before April 1, 1982).
A garage door that cannot detect an
object - signaling the door to stop
and reverse does not meet current
federal safety standards.Using a garage
door opener without these features
increases the risk of serious injury or
death.
Programming HomeLink ®
Please note the following:
• When programming a garage door opener, it is advised to park the
vehicle outside of the garage.
• It is recommended that a new battery be placed in the hand-held transmitter
of the device being programmed to
HomeLink® for quicker training and
accurate transmission of the radio-
frequency signal.
• Some vehicles may require the Engine Start/Stop button to be in the
ACC (or “Accessories”) position for
programming and/or operation of
HomeLink®.
• In the event that there are still programming difficulties or questions
after following the programming steps
listed below, contact HomeLink® at:
www.homelink.com, www.youtube.
com/HomeLinkGentex or by calling
1-800-355-3515.

Information
Using the system primarily in Fresh mode
and Recirculation mode only when needed
is recommended for best results.
Prolonged operation of the heater in
Recirculation mode and without the A/C ON can cause fogging of the windshield.
In addition, prolonged use of the A/C
ON in Recirculation mode may result in
excessively dry, dehumidified air in the cabin.
WARNING
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode for a prolonged period of
time may cause drowsiness to the
occupants in the cabin. This may lead
to loss of vehicle control which may
lead to an accident.
• Continued use of the climate control
system operation in Recirculation
mode with the A/C OFF may allow
humidity to increase inside the
cabin. This may cause condensation
to accumulate on the windshield and
obscure visibility.
• Do not sleep in your vehicle or
remain parked in your vehicle with
the windows up and either the
heater or the air conditioning ON for
prolonged periods of time. Doing so
may increase the levels of carbon
dioxide in the cabin which may lead
to serious injury or death.
